When You and Jimmy Crystal Married
You didn't notice the tension with your band much as you and Jimmy were busy with the media losing their minds over your and Jimmy's engagement. You and Jimmy were soon swarmed with paparazzi taking pictures, live interviews, and interviews for magazines. For a few months, you two were the hottest topic; whatever you were doing, somehow someone brought up your engagement.
If you're being honest, you were kinda getting sick of that sort of attention. Yet, Jimmy on the other hand was more or less thrilled by the attention, reasoning how great this whole thing is for both of your reputations, including your band's.
All of this is not to mention how busy you were with planning your wedding for the next few weeks. You hoped for something small and intimate, with close friends and family invited. Granted, he wanted to go big with it, inviting over all sorts of theater bigwigs and celebrities, business associates, and reporters. He wanted almost clinical perfection, from the seating arrangements down to the napkins. You didn't really get much of a word in the planning, and when you try to bring it up, Jimmy would assure you he just wanted to give you the whole shaboodle.
"I just want to make this big day perfect for you."
And you believed him.
Of course, he didn't stop you from choosing your bridesmaids/best man. Despite the unseen strain with some of them, that didn't stop your friends/family from being excited for you to be getting married. Or you have a bachelorette party including a bonfire, some (slightly) illegal fireworks, and nearly everyone getting blown up by said fireworks if it weren't for the fact you were near an ocean. Needless to say, you may have singed yourself slightly.
You couldn't have been more ready to explode as you clutched your bouquet of sunflowers and (Favorite Flower). Your attention is fixed on Jimmy, waiting at the altar so you may officially call each other husband and wife. Despite having your (happily crying) father walking you down the aisle, you had half a mind to break from his grip and sprint to the altar as your beating heart demands of you. On the other hand, you were glad to have your father holding on to you because, you could've sworn your knees vanished into thin air, leaving them like jelly. You're also pretty sure you may vomit from how many knots and butterflies manifest in your gut.
Luckily, you didn't, as you made it to the altar just fine. Although, you could barely remain still as the officiant went through the usual spiel. All the while Jimmy gives you a soft and loving look into your heart eyes. He's able to smoothly speak his vows to you, in contrast to you, who more or less stuttered out yours with plenty of passion. Jimmy shouldn't be surprised, but he's caught off guard when the officiant that he may kiss the bride only for you to literally sweep him off his feet to plant a big kiss on his lips. He isn't complaining though as he just kisses back in response, much to the delight of both your friends and families. You also could've sworn that one of your cousins shot off a confetti cannon from the sounds of a BOOM followed by raining confetti, which mixes in with the thrown rice.
You were able to invite your band/friends and some family members, including your parents. In fact, you and Jimmy first met each other's folks at your wedding! Jimmy's folks were more on the stoic side, his father being a tall wolf with all the warmth of a marble statue and his mother being that of a regal queen. You felt talking to them was like talking to the cool kids back in high school, only this was with in-laws.
Your folks were very much the opposite, as they were pleased as punch to finally meet your dear Jimmy. In fact, it was your father who straight-up bawled when he witnessed you and Jimmy tie the knot while your mother basically held him, also teary-eyed. They welcomed your husband with open arms into the family, given how he's one of them now. Well, until either death or he breaks your heart, your father jokes with a smile that seems just a bit too friendly. A smile that made your new husband choke back on a whimper, but you laugh off.
You didn't think much about your father's threat/joke during your honeymoon with Jimmy on his yacht while out at sea to enjoy the tropical islands. Such as enjoying dining with your husband while watching the breathtaking sunset, before cuddling up to him as you both stargazed and chatted for hours. Jimmy claiming as much as he loves sunsets and sunrises, they don't compare to rising and setting with you every night. You damn near tackled Jimmy off the boat when you embraces him.
During that trip, you and Jimmy would go snorkeling at the coral reefs and scuba dive to an underwater city occupied by more aquatic folks for sightseeing. You and Jimmy loved being able to watch an entire aquatic performance underwater including, glowing squids, octopi playing drums, and dolphins doing acrobatics.
enjoyed all the perks at a resort where you were determined to try EVERY activity offered there, much to your husband's chagrin as you dragged him to every single one. That's not to say he hated them all, as he did enjoy the couples dancing class, marimba, and spa. He never thought he'd enjoy a seaweed wrap so much! He always loves hearing you sing as well, so karaoke hours weren't so bad as well, given how pride would swell in his chest as he watches you perform up on stage, sometimes singing songs with him in mind, making him fall for you all over again.
"That's my wife up there!"
You once heard Jimmy shout after you finished a song, causing you to smile widely and give a sheepish laugh.
Not surprisingly, you also would drag him up to the front of the crowd to sing a duet with you as you gaze deeply into one another's eyes.
Although he won't admit it and will take it to his grave, he did work a bit even during your honeymoon, specifically whenever you two were separated or you were too occupied to notice. He justifies to himself it wasn't too much though! Just a few minor emails and phone calls here and there, and helping out with some last-minute details, that's all! Besides, what you don't know won't hurt you...
After your honeymoon, things were more or less the same with both you and your band, you would say. Granted, you and your band sometimes would squabble amongst yourselves over financial, marketing, or creative differences. You also couldn't help but notice how YOU were getting a lot more attention from the public over your bandmates. Sure, you were always more or less the face-man of your band, but the fact this attention was also pushing your friends to the sidelines is something else. But you could easily talk with your husband to help fix this situation.
Right?
